We have just released a new update for Textshot to roll together a few things we have added over the past few months.

Full support for iPhoneX screen sizes

Updated to use new contacts API, and iOS11-friendly features

Access all addresses for a contact, when their details are split across multiple address books.

Two more things to cover:

You can now swipe from the left of the screen to go back from most screens. This is useful as screens get larger, because it is harder to reach the top left of the screen

If you have both an iPad and an iPhone, you can now write an SMS on iPad and use your iPhone to send it to the phone system. To do this, enable “Text Message Forwarding” for your iPad on the Messages page of Settings on the iPhone.

As is usually the case, we use a staggered release, so this update will roll out to users over the following week.

We have today released a new version of ShotList, our movie scheduling app, to allow larger ensemble casts. (TIP: The cast list can also be used for other things, such as specific equipment that may be needed for a shot)

A few weeks ago we released an update for MailShot and MailShot Pro, treating email addresses as mixed case again (after we discovered that a small number of email providers apparently ARE case-sensitive- this was a surprise even to us) and updates all the iOS calls used to newest standards.

And we are currently working on TextShot, our group texting app, to update it to use the latest iOS address book calls. This is expected for release in the next week.

We have recently updated two more of our apps to take advantage of iOS11 and the new iPhone X screen.

One Day is designed to help you count down to just the most important days in your life- a gig, a holiday, the end of exams, or a wedding or birth! The new update also allows you to swipe from the left side of the screen to go back through the app, making it easier to use on larger screens.

FAQ helps make repetitive email easier, by letting you store all text from sentences to multiple paragraphs, that you can assemble into the perfect email. We use it for all our customer support here.

Mailshot 6.0 adds support for iOS 11 and for the unique iPhone X screen, it also features a big graphical update (its third or fourth since launch.)

iOS 11 made changes which broke the sharing of links from Safari and multiple photos from the Photos app, and this update fixes those issues (and improves some others)

We should have an updated tutorial video in the next few days, but it was felt to be worth getting the new version out there for anyone lucky enough to get a shiny new iPhone X.

As usual, if you have any issues, or just want to let me know how the new version feels, please drop me a line from the Support button in the app, as that includes useful diagnostic information that will help solve any issues quickly..

UPDATE: Mailshot 6.1 has just been released, this fixes an issue when sharing video from Photos, and when sharing PDFs from the Mail app.

We have already updated ShotList for iOS11, and to add support for iPhoneX screens.

The current version of MailShot still works great with iOS11, although an issue has been reported with Share extensions from Safari and Photos.

iOS11 seems to have an issue with group messaging, it appears the “Group Messaging” switch on the Messages page in Settings does not allow larger MMS groups, as it dd before. This seems to affec all non-Apple messaging apps including TextShot. We have reported this to Apple, and are investigating at the moment.
